Auto Dimming mirror

Is it new or junkyard?

Reason I'm asking is, older TLs (like our '99) had the Donelson mirror which failed after a few years. They contained mercury or something...so Donelson will exchange it with a brand new one FOR FREE. (You need the VIN of the donor car, though.)

looks like a fast track electronic toll collector. at least thats how they look in san fran.

btw, nice upgrade! now you dont have to flip a little button!

how much heavier is the new mirror opposed to the original?

The auto dim mirrors are a few ounces heavier than the non-powered variety.

Not enough weight to constitute a rollover hazard....
